This country wont survive a major depression like the 30's.

Back then we were a MORAL people as a whole. Today ? Revolution and civil war would engulf this country like an FAE explosion.

Some hope the above is likely. Hillary right now is planning to be the new FDR and life would be hell under that scenario. Scary thought. But I think we could survive a depression,,the strong will based on their character and virtue. The weak wouldn't. If you believe character begats strength, as I do, I have no doubt I would survive along with a number, a great number, of freepers.

Maybe that's one reason we now have a homeland tank battalion in Alabama.

I don't see how it could. There would be major rioting and violence if millions of people living off government programs see their welfare checks or food stamps cut back. I don't see how taxpayers in a depression could continue to pay for these many programs and the so-called poor in this country feel they are entitled to the good life no matter what.

And back then, people trusted their elected officials to "do the right thing" for the country ...
